The Llandoger Trow
The Llandoger Trow
The Llandoger Trow was reputedly named by a sailor who owned the pub, after Llandogo which built trows. The building was damaged in World War II, but fortunately remained in good condition and designated as a Grade II* listed building in 1959. The pub is said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write of the Admiral Benbow Inn in Treasure Island and Daniel Defoe supposedly met Alexander Selkirk there, his inspiration for Robinson Crusoe.
The pub is also supposedly haunted by around to 15 ghosts, if you are to accept what Most Haunted say when they filmed here in 2007.
One of the ghosts is that of a former occupant that walked with a limp. Fottsteps have been reported, as is the sound of one footstep followed by the other dragging on the floor.
